How did you do this?

Got the Nexus7 yesterday, my first Android device and first small tablet. After charging the battery, it took about 90 minutes to do all this:
  • Set up Nexus7, gmail account, and wallet (with $25 credit toward purchases from Google).
  • Got Calibre Companion, Moon+ Reader Pro, and Aldiko.
  • In calibre, under Sharing, started the wireless device connection.
  • In CC set up group for #genres, and sort by series (with no need to set up Metadata Plugboards in calibre for Android device).
  • Set CC to store books in Moon+'s folder Books/Moonreader.
  • Wirelessly loaded some EPUBs and PDFs to Calibre Companion.
  • Set the Moon+'s Miscellaneous -> Typesetting options to indent paragraph and trim blank lines.
  • Tested Moon+'s brightness/dimming controls, with convenient swipe gesture.
  • Tested Moon+ with EPUBs and PDFs.
  • Tested and trashed Aldiko.
  • Downloaded and tested Android File Transfer, a small Android file manager application that runs on OS X, since OS X doesn't support MTP. Now I can sideload an Android device such as Nexus7.
I did all of that, but my books don't automatically show up in Moon+. I admittedly am *NOT* an expert in Calibre or Moon+, but usually I have to copy my calibre library over to my Android device and "import" the books to moon+.

How do you get the books to just pop up on the "My Shelf" after the CC push from Calibre?

Thanks!
